tip on those clamps: put a piece of wood 3-4 inches long between the clamp and the metal. it will spread out the force on the glass and lessen the potential of too much stress at one point where the clamp contacts the metal/glass.

@traildriving Ай бұрын
For glass the pipe clamp is a great idea. Also you can set the window on a block of wood and use a mallet to hit it on. It would be a good idea to put some plastic or rubber in between the steel and aluminum tubes on the bed so they don’t corrode each other.

Paul there is a glass guy in Texas watching y’all struggle with the windows. I wish I was closer so I could come by and help. The way we do it is juice it up with spray way glass cleaner and pound it on with a rubber hammer. Yes some times it breaks so we blame it on the rookie.
@MrChrissy1r Ай бұрын
Little tip from a seasoned Glazier use a tiny bit of washing up liquid, for rubber to glass as a lube, press home firm and off you go, just a thin film from your finger. It will dry out and stick to the glass nicely. Things like rubber grease , silicon grease, even KY take much longer to "cure".
@3rdpig Ай бұрын
KY might take longer to cure, but think of the fun you can have while you're waiting!

Great tip!! I always used Sprayway glass cleaner for a lubricant. That way when you’re done installing you just wipe it off and your glass is clean.
@wynottgivemore9274 Ай бұрын
I was wondering why they didn't use any lube at all, but yes great tip they'll never care to remember next time 😁 that's the crazy thing I notice about these youtubers they don't Google anything except directions lol ...also dishwashing fluid can be used to help slide semi trailers over on pavement when needed . What I was actually gonna advise is ky can dry out plastic ,I've experienced personally 🙄

i used to build livestock trailers out of aluminum and whenever we sandwiched the aluminum to the steel chassis for our 5th wheel variants we applied a chemical that had to be brushed on in between the aluminum and steel to avoid rusting, im sure you know but for love of the channel i figure id mention it. cheers paul love the channel and the work ethic shows me i still have more to learn.

@e.c.8668 28 күн бұрын
Good call. yep that's called galvanic corrosion. The aluminum acts as an anode which will actually inhibit the steel from corroding, but accelerate the corrosion of the aluminum. Kind of like you put a zinc (some are actually aluminum-zinc) on a boat to protect the lower end of a motor. Or the entire hull, especially for aluminum boats. You want to electrically isolate the aluminum form the steel if you can. Either by paint, hard coat anodize (Type III), plastic, or other means.

JUST AN IDEA that popped in my head, with as much as the power goes out there maybe add a little reserve tank to the lift (with one way check valve) so you never have to worry about something being stuck on the lift because your out of air.

@brianellison3525 Ай бұрын
To bolt that aluminum tube to the frame, you can drill the holes where you want them, then drill the outside, (non contact side) holes big enough to get a socket through it. If you need structure at that point, you can slide a flatbar into the tubing and drill that also to work as a large load spreader. It ends up hiding the bolt heads. Very clean finish.

You need to put something between the aluminum and the steel on the frame. Galvanic corrosion will make it a nightmare in the future. A good coat of heavy frame paint on both will help a lot.

Was reminiscing about some dear friends we've lost over the years the other day and a few were again brought to mind after watching the metal cutting/grinding/finishing operations today. Both died from not wearing their respirators with one passing from Parkinson's with Alzheimer's due to aluminum dust inhalation and the other from Silicosis based Pulmonary Fibrosis. It was a very sad thing to be there to witness when living wills were honored and the plugs were pulled on the lung machines since they could only live on them while unconscious with only brief moments in a semi-conscious state. Witnessing that would be in the Top 10 of the worst days of ones life. Hoping that your all wearing your respirators when not speaking on camera as its painful to watch what we've come to realize is a slow miserable death potentially in progress. Best!
